Design + Build News Hub: Inspiration, Advice & Local Updates
Welcome to Behind the Hammer, our multi‑episode series following the complete transformation of a Richmond Beach Shoreline home — from structural upgrades to thoughtful design choices that support aging in place for both the homeowners and their beloved dog, Rocky.
In this project, we tackled a full interior renovation, added a new third story, and installed a residential elevator that provides seamless access to all three levels. This upgrade not only future‑proofs the home for long‑term living but also ensures Rocky can comfortably move throughout the house as he ages.
Throughout the series, you’ll see:
🔨 How we engineered and built the third‑story addition
🏡 A full interior remodel from layout changes to final finishes
⬆️ The design and installation of an in‑home elevator
🛏️ A new, accessible primary suite built for aging in place
🐶 Rocky’s story — and how pets factor into real remodeling choices
🎥 Behind‑the‑scenes challenges, solutions, and craftsmanship
Whether you’re exploring options for a whole‑home remodel, considering an elevator addition, or simply love seeing how homes evolve to meet the needs of the people who live in them, this series gives you an inside look at the entire process start to finish
